Yes, that's what I meant by writing "if you set up a matching environment."
Looks like you don't just run tools from CMD, you're trying to run the
tools outside of the Cygwin distro with its own Cygwin DLL.  If you do
that, you have to set up the environment around that DLL.  And you
should make sure to follow http://cygwin.com/licensing.html, should you
release your efforts to third parties.
